Enjoy the little things
for one day you may realize
They were the big things!

I found this quote on-line about nine years ago when I was a new mom to a very colicky baby. Motherhood was not quite what I thought it would be and this quote helped me to look at things
differently and to appreciate the little things. Still something I think a lot about today.

I’ll share with you my Q, favorite quote that I say:
“Holy (fill in the blank) Batman!” For example, today my friend doused her fries with mountains of ketchup. I said, “Holy bunch of ketchup, Batman.” It works for so many different situations: “Holy Booger Hangin’ out of you nose, Batman,” “Holy giant diamond, Batman.” See?

L = longest car ride – from Kansas City MO up through Nebraska to the Black Hills in South Dakota, across Wyoming to Yellowstone (side trip up into Montana to see the Custer battlefield), then down through Salt Lake City and across Utah and Nevada, through Reno and Carson City, to and through Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, across through Bakersfield to LA and then up the coast highway through Santa Barbara, Big Sur, Monterrey, into San Francisco, then back east through Sacramento, across Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Kansas to Missouri – is that long enough for you?????? Have a great week and love the furkids pix on your blog yesterday!

F- Favorite quote ever… “Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome. That’s what momma always says. She says that beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will…”

X – Number of X-rays… I might get a “WOW” from you on this one… lol… 73!! Well…they were MRI’s on my tumor…but that’s a form of an X-ray! LOL :):):):):) And yep…I really MEAN 73!!! Hey….when you are born with a tumor and have had 9 surgeries on it…lol…DOCTORS loveeeeeeeeeee to take pics of it! LOL :):):):):):):):):):):):):)

L – Longest ride ever…. my trip from my hometown to the heck I live in now… lol.. 9 years old and we stayed in a different state every night on our way here! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
